Music label Sony says it was duped after admitting three songs on a Michael Jackson album it released after his death are fake.

The songs were on Sony's album "Michael," which was released in 2010 and is said to have previously unreleased tracks by the famed music artist. According to reports by Fortune
, Vibe
and other music news outlets, the music label made the admission in a court hearing.

The three songs are “Breaking News”, “Monster” and “Keep Your Head Up." Producers Eddie Cascio and James Porte claimed the songs included Jackson's vocals.

The album was released by Epic Records, which hasn't commented on the issue, Fortune reports.
